Why is so hard for Wii U sell 20,000,000?

Not a chance for it to pass 12M.

Serious or joking?

Wii U at end of this year will be around around 12m.

Serious. Very serious. I expect it to be around 10.2m - 10.5m at the year's end. After that, Zelda 2016 will give it a big .5m-.8m push, leaving it around the 11M mark, if the NX gets announced in 2016 and it's a console, most people interested in buying a Wii U will rather wait, then the Wii U's sales will start slowing down, maybe it could have another .1m-.2m push if Metroid comes around, but I can't see it selling any "big for Nintendo" numbers after that.

I expect the Wii U to go out at 11.5M - 11.8M, and that's a good thing, for what a failure the Wii U is, those are very big numbers.

Let me get this clear: You expect the console to sell just over a million this whole  year while the Wii U already sold pretty much half of it in the first 3 month? that would mean the wii U may not sell more than 12k a week to meet your prediction for the rest of this year. So prepare to get seriously dissapointed, as there's no way the sales could bet that bad. The console will also be very probably above the 11.8 you're expecting as lifetime sales by the end of this year even without a new Mario Kart or a Smash Bros coming out this year, as there are enough other games to keep sales floating above the droughts of the previous years.
